A Voice For Resilience: Mississippi Farmer Builds On Climate-Smart Legacy
USDA’s Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities is advancing equity through projects like the National Black Growers Council (NBGC) climate-smart regenerative agriculture project, through which more than 100 black row-crop farmers are gaining access to financial and technical assistance to test regenerative agricultural practices and determine which can build climate resiliency into their operations. Fourth-generation rice and soybean farmer Christi Bland-Miller enrolled in both NBGC’s project, as well as USA Rice Federation, Inc.’s climate-smart rice project, to further build on her father’s sustainable legacy. A proactive spokesperson for minority farmers, she hopes that her participation demonstrates the benefits of climate-smart, regenerative agriculture practices – sequestering carbon, reducing methane, improving soil health and creating additional income sources beyond traditional commodity sales.
